L-Pyroglutamic acid tert-butyl ester (CAS 35418-16-7) is a protected amino acid derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. Its molecular formula is C9H17NO3. This compound serves as a critical building block for introducing N-terminal protection during solid-phase and solution-phase coupling reactions.
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles during handling due to potential skin irritation. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly for industrial R&D and intermediate production.
